PIEVC CLIMATE RISK AND VULNERABILITY ASSESSMENT
Posted onThe objective of the Climate Change Vulnerability Assessment is to assess the infrastructure components of the planned FSF that are at risk of failure or impaired service due to the impacts of climate change and extreme climate events. Building codes have traditionally been based on historical climate data for specific regions and as a result, buildings and infrastructure have been designed with specific climate loads based on historical climate data. The Climate Change Vulnerability Assessment (CCVA) was completed using the … Read more
